Kronos SMP is a full Earth server on a 1 to 500 scale. The map is the whole world and the continents are super big and the oceans actually matter. Everyone starts fresh in a new world so there are no old empires or stacked nations already winning.
You pick a real place on the map and you claim it and then you defend it. Other players can try to take it from you so the borders on the map really change. You can start as a small group like a faction and grow into a nation.
The server is all about geopolitics and not just grinding. People make alliances they betray each other and they plan wars. There is a player run economy where power comes from land and people and not from paid kits. The wars are real with real borders so nothing is just cosmetic.
If you like planning more than mining all day or you want maps with history and drama that actually affect the world this is the kind of server for you. If you just want a chill SMP this is probably not it because once the map opens it is every man for himself.
The server runs Java Edition on version 1.20.1 and it says it has a super powerful host so it can handle big player counts without lag. The admins say there is no pay to win and they do not play favorites.

Fresh Lifesteal SMP With Real Content

Awesome SMP is a new Lifesteal SMP where fights actually matter. When you kill a player you steal their hearts. If you lose all your hearts you are out so it feels high risk the whole time.
It is not just plain PvP though. The server has mods like Create so people can build wild machines and factories. It also has Farmer’s Delight for more farming and cooking. Backpack helps with storage while you explore. Gravestone helps keep your loot safe when you die.
The owner is active and the world is fresh. The plan is to keep it going long term. It is competitive but not chaotic so builders and grinders can still do their thing.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTowny USA Map SMP Economy Server

I found a Java SMP server that is based on Towny and it has an economy. The whole world is a custom United States map at 1 to 125 scale so traveling and picking a spot feels cool.
It is small but super active and it can hit around 40 players when it is busy with a 60 player cap. A lot of the mountains are still empty so there is tons of room to start a town and build it up.
There are different nations you can join and there are lots of places to choose from like Cascadia the desert Appalachia and the Great Lakes. The mods are really responsive to suggestions and feedback.
The nether just reset and the currency is gold so it feels like a good time to jump in. It runs on 1.21.7 or above and there is a live map you can use too.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPThe Anchor SMP Vanilla Forever World

The Anchor is a long term Java Survival server that tries to feel like a real home. The big idea is that you can leave for a while and still come back and feel welcome. It is meant to stay familiar so your world does not feel like it disappears.
The server stays close to vanilla survival. There are no resets and nothing that changes the core survival features. Ranks are based on playtime so it is about sticking around instead of finding some weird money farm trick.
The economy is made by the players and there is also an Admin Shop that changes sometimes to help move things along. The owner talks a lot about building around the players who spend the most time on the server and using their feedback to grow it over time.
